In the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, a wise elder who calls himself lonewolf-chicago warns his younger colleagues to watch out for the insidious danger of … women who dye their hair. You may think these women look hot, he tells the assembled MGTOWs, but they don’t look hot, because their hair is a LIE! Also, he notes, his ex-wife has a fat butt.
Let’s hear him out:
I’m an older guy. I’m 45 and there are no women anywhere close to my age that doesn’t dye their hair. Some have pretty faces a few are even fit but they all died their hair.
If they did not dye their hair all of them would look like old ladies. All of them. So just this one act of dying their hair conceals at least 10 years of age.
Damn these women for trying to look their best!
So if a woman is 35 or 40 and she dyes her hair you have to imagine what she looks like without her hair dyed.
Er, why exactly do you have to do this?
I am 45 I have very little gray hair I do not wear makeup… obviously, but women my age smile and become coy when they get carded at a restaurant or at a bar even though it’s only because the Law States the bouncers must card everyone who walks in the place.
Their narcissism makes them believe that it’s because they still look young. But it’s only because they dye their hair.
Wait, I thought it was because the bouncers have to card everyone. Keep it together, man, you’re losing it!
One of my Ex-Wives friend has been almost totally gray since she was 30 years old she’s 44 years old now she is a hairdresser. She is attractive but she dyes her hair which means she’s not attractive … she hit the wall at 30.
It’s like a MGTOW Koan: What is the sound of one women who is attractive but also not attractive?
If you didn’t look at my ex-wife’s ass and the horrible fat lard cottage cheese on the back of her legs you would say that she’s attractive. She has humongous tits but her nipples never come out… so they are basically a big slab of fat. She dyes her hair. She would not look pretty if she did not dye her hair she would look like an old lady.
Somehow I don’t think this woman really regrets kicking this guy to the curb.
Women are narcissists and they live in a fantasy world. They think what they look like with colored hair and makeup and those undergarments that suck in all the fat is how they actually look. They live in a fantasy land.
Have you guys gotten the picture yet? Do you get it? Women over 40 for sure do not look like they actually look. It’s fucking makeup. It’s fake.
WOMEN OVER 40 DO NOT LOOK LIKE THEY ACTUALLY LOOK.
You heard it here first.

I did. Every man must choose for himself. Choose freedom or choose to remain enslaved. The blue pill or the red. But sempai can provide guidance. That’s what Chi-Town is trying to do.
I started dyeing my hair when I was 12. I hated my natural brown color (still do). I went for auburns and went redder and redder as I got older. I’m currently bleached blond with gray tints as the beautiful shades of gray I had before were only semi-permanent and bleached out after a few days at the beach. My hair has also been purple, teal, and blue. I’ve had pink streaks, as well. I’m only 30 now. So I’ve been hiding my age for 18 years? Eahh, if it keeps me invisible to men so I can go about my business in public without being sexually harassed or abused, I am perfectly content to continue dyeing my hair forever.
Aha a true believer! Please be free. We are also free and chose no pills – the pills are a metaphor (again) and do not really exist. You did not need to choose one to be free you were already free or you could not have made that choice. Your belief that you can only be free by embracing bigotry and hate is an illusion. Do you think we are not free because we believe in equal rights? we would most certainly be less free had our forebears not fought for them.
My two closest friends have both been going grey since they were 16. One of them (32) shaves her head, because she likes it. In the past we’ve bleached it and then dyed it cookie monster blue. It was fabulous and caused a right kerfuffle when we went to pick her son up from school that day. She is married but separated.
The other (35) dies her hair with red streaks (she naturally has black hair with blue highlights being Anglo-Egyptian) to cover the grey until she decides she’s old enough to go grey naturally. She’s from a family of women who have amazing silver-grey hair. She has never been married, is asexual and can’t be bothered with relationships.
Personally, I haven’t dyed my hair in a few years although I have been considering some colourful additions, maybe rainbow tips. In the past I’ve had the odd red and blond highlights to ‘lift’ my blonde-brown hair. On one memorable occasion I temporarily died my hair blue and within a week it had washed out to green. It was for a concert. I felt like having a bit of fun. I am also single, and can’t be bothered with the whoo-har of meeting people and having relationships.
The OP (and Melvin the twit) really doesn’t have a clue about why women of any age (or marital status) choose to dye their hair. The only common thread I can find is that people dye their hair for themselves.
What about the fact that grey has become quite a popular shade for younger women to dye their hair to? I’d love to see these bozos rationalise that one.
Also, Based whatever: I started dyeing my hair long before I had any grey hair. The only reason I keep dyeing it is that I’m a goth and mousy brown mixed with white doesn’t go with my ensembles. If my natural colour were dark enough so that I had a salt & pepper look, I’d lay off the dye in a heartbeat.
Also, I am asexual and have no desire to attract anyone, let alone a loser like you. Plus, why would someone who wishes to be childfree want to signal fertility?
IOW, your bullshit theory is bullshit.
Whooaaa, just noticed Based Cartoon Villain’s assertion that in the sexual marketplace, he always gets what he wants “one way or another.” Sounds pretty rapey to me.
It would be great if coulered hair could keep MGTOWs away but somehow i doubt it. Also i have never in my life dyed my hair to please misogynistic men but because i like to have different hair coulors. Whenever a man reffers to the appeareance of a woman as a lie or dishonest i take it as a red flag and stay away from him.
I tell everyone that my hair colour is my own because I paid for it.
I started going white (not grey) in my early 20s, which runs in Mum’s family, so I home dye it red which is how it was when I was three. Later it was mouse.
I’m thinking of going rainbow or mermaid, but I’m worried it will be high maintenance. Just how long does it take? (I’d ask about cost too, but that’s so regional I doubt anyone could help.)
I’ll take any little white pills with doves on that people don’t want.
@Crys T
Chiming in to agree with you: This guy’s a rapist.
My earlier comment, implying that he should return to the hell he came from, was even more on target than I knew at first.
The only way this guy could get any dates at all is through deception. What a fiend. And may I add, Yuck.
When I was younger, my hair was a brilliant copper red (via genetics – Pop was a dark auburn and Mum a strawberry blonde), but now it’s started to vigorously thread gray. At first I was hoping for grey streaking, which would have looked cool and sophisticated, but instead the gray is evenly distributed at the root and largely absent at the tips. So my hair does this weird ombre thing.
I find this super annoying. Not least of all because grey/clear + red = visually blonde. I’d have happily gone to my grave with red hair OR grey hair, but I categorically REFUSE to be a blonde.
I’ve shaved the sides and I put up the back in a braid or a bun and it looks pretty nice, but I’m still undecided on color. I can’t decide whether to rinse it all silver or get ‘mermaid hair’ and have bright blues and greens.
(as to whether MGTOWS a/or other dudes find me attractive: lol, who cares? I don’t date dudes, so it’s irrelevant, and I wouldn’t date a MGTOW by definition; y’all go your own way, remember?)
The OP was clearly referring to older females hiding their gray. Pointing out that all sorts of females of various ages dye their hair all kinds of different colors as part of fashion trends, to make themselves seem special, to create a persona, to get attention, to decorate themselves, to more pleasingly contrast or complement their skin tone, to distract from other aspects of their appearance, and so on, in no way contradicts the simple truth that this is all being done to make an impression on others. And that ultimately (though sometimes via a winding road) always comes back to youth, health, and fertility. Even for those not looking to reproduce. These are the traits that most determine a female’s value and that communicate to others how she is to be treated/regarded. Though I suppose availability and status could, arguably, be added to the list as separate (rather than subsidiary) traits.
Female machinations can certainly be baroque, decadent, contradictory, confusing, and seemingly illogical. Many females actually deceive themselves or operate without much self-awareness. So a lot of those posting here might actually believe their own rationalizations and bullshit. But it’s all smoke and mirrors. Once you know how and why the trick works, once you can see the matrix code, the feminine mystique is no longer mysterious.
White, silver and grey incrementally since my very early twenties, and I’ve always loved it (the silver wings and dark hair phase was particularly snappy; now it’s more variegated). Lately taken to the occasional single splash of bright purple on one side when I’m in a good mood; bright asymmetry is the greatest 🙂
These miggytoes are too far up their own arses to even realise that’s where they are. They seem to actually believe that women in general give a gnat’s fart what they think!* Amazing.
* eh, being solemnly informed that bright colours put them off is kind of a bonus pleasure, I suppose.
“…she’s 44 years old now she is a hairdresser.”
wait, I’m 43. what happens when I turn 44?

Rape is both a crime and a violation of my personal code. But whatever you think of me, tossing that word around so lightly cheapens its meaning. We should all be able to agree that’s not desirable. I urge you to step back from such ‘crying wolf’ tactics. Cheers.
Based Melvin Udall, you said it earlier. Crys T quoted you earlier. And I’ll quote you once again:
What about your true sexual marketplace value?”
As a freed man my value is determined by what I can get. And, one way or another, I get what I want.
There are no two ways about it: You’re a rapist.
You know the matrix was a film right? Have you seen it, its quite good.
Moving on to the concept of freedom. Our based friend here feels that he wasn’t free before he took his red-pill. I would argue that by his definition he is still not free.
What does the red pill free you from? Obligations and relationships is what it frees you from. And what does it free you to do? It frees you to express bigotry. But you must still pay rent, exist in society, have obligations to others. Do you live in a cave melvin, do you live on water that drips from the roof? If you try and live within a society but feel that you are free to ignore its rules then one day you could find yourself a real prisoner. Freedom from slavery means something very specific. Freedom in the red-pill/going gault/pioneer sense does not and cannot exist within society.
I was wondering whether Based Shelvin’ was just here to drive-by troll. Nope! Turns out he’s sticking around.
Thanks for the laugh. I love all that projection you’ve got going on there.
Of course, because Based Melvin Udall thinks, if we just listen to him, we’ll agree with his
self-evidenttruths.I suspect he’s also here to get attention from women by annoying them. This is not a good way to get dates.
Perhaps he enjoys negative attention, there are some people who do.
Those who don’t understand the matrix are condemned to think it shows a way to male ‘power’.
Freed man, what are you free from?
Thanks, it’s nice to be back 🙂
Hahaha yeah I can see how it’s like painting but I can imagine the eye narrowing
Mine is rainbow, I can help! I re-do it every 2 months. It takes about 2 hours each time, I do it myself or I’m sure it would be expensive. But maintaining it is fairly easy, every time I wash it, it changes slightly and some of the colours blend into each other but it looks like it’s supposed to be blended if you have the right colours next to each other ^_^
Lavender in my hair cheers me up, and goodness do I ever need cheering up these days. It’s really so odd to me that people like Based Whoever spend a lot of time linking things like hair dye and make-up to “what makes my boner sad.” I don’t have a single male friend who even thinks that way. If I knew someone like that, I’d run screaming from the scene. I like to think of my lavender as a way to ward off sexist, ageist jerks, just like I appreciate Confederate flag displays as a signifier of someone I don’t need to waste one minute of precious time on.
